As the capital of Japan for over one thousand years until 1868, Kyoto had been creating its original culture of grace. Kyoto ware (Kyo-yaki, Kiyomizu-yaki) is the ceramic ware with gorgeous, delicate and highly polished sensibility. This is one of the finest Japanese traditional crafts. Today’s Kyoto ware is now produced by advanced masters skills and modern sensibility, keeping the spirits of the tradition represented by such as Ninsei and Kenzan.
